Holiday
Inn Midtown, NYC: Michele
and Norman came uptown and joined us for breakfast at the Flame Diner. After breakfast we walked over to the subway
with them and they headed downtown to walk the Brooklyn Bridge
and we headed to Lincoln Center
for the ballet. We picked up our tickets
and then had a couple of drinks at a nearby restaurant and then headed back to Lincoln Center
for the ballet. The American Ballet
Theater performed Dream and Firebird.
They perform at the Metropolitan Opera House in the summer. We had box seats and a great view of the stage
and the orchestra pit. The performances
were great with beautiful costumes and sets.
After the ballet we met Michele and Norman at the Rosa Mexicano just
across the street from Lincoln Center. Had a great dinner and then we all took the
subway back downtown to 34th
Street and Macy’s. Walked around there for a while and bought
some ice cream and went to their hotel lobby to savor them. Left them and took the subway back uptown to
our hotel. So tired. We’re meeting them for breakfast at their
hotel tomorrow morning before they leave on the train. Pooped.
